Bryan -Wymore, NE, Kawasaki KZ400 Motorcycle paint project.

Although I am a handyman, I have never attempted to paint an entire bike.  I now know I will do it over and over again!  I've shown my friends the pictures of the bike and posted it in social media.  Several have asked where I got the paint.  I am already sending customers your way.  Thanks for your product.  This bike was a fade brown.  Now a beautiful Mango Tango Pearl.

I saw a newer Dodge Avenger and loved the color, thinking it would be a great for a motorcycle.  I looked on line for the paint color and was directed toward 66 Auto Color.  I bought two cans of base coat and one can of Spray Max clear.  That was more than enough to complete the bike.  I had a nib after the second base coat and tried to remove it before the coat was dry.  Big mistake.  I learned to let it dry, carefully remove and lightly sand, then apply another coat. I  have seen other people apply clear coat with a traditional spray gun.  When I tested the Spray Max clear I noticed it came out of the can just like a spray gun.  That made application very easy for a beginner.

Prevent Nozzle Clogging & Spitting

What do I do if my spray nozzle is clogging, spitting, or coming out of places it shouldn't?  You probably need to clear your nozzle.  Not keeping your nozzle open could cause several problems: complete failure, coming out  below the nozzle or through any orifice it can find!

Prevent it from happening in the first place by following this simple trick for clean-clear spraying.

When do I spray my second coat of clear coat?

Have you ever asked ," How do I know when my clear coat is ready for the next coat?" A simple test is the touch test.  Touch a piece of tape or paper that has some of the clear coat on it.  It should be tacky, but not stringy.  Do not let your clear coat dry completely.  If it does dry completely, you will need to scuff it and recoat.  Here is a short video that shows the stringing.
